Restaurant Review - Mad For Garlic

Mad for Garlic, a restaurant chain in Korea that is known for their Americanized dishes which includes pasta, seafood, and steaks. It is definitely my one favorite Korean chain restaurant for Italian and steak. The decor is like those back in America, a great meal that brings me back home. The food is delicious, but it is one of the pricer chain restaurants in Korea.

One of my ultimate favorite appetizers is garlic bread. The garlic tower, which is a half loaf of freshly baked bread topped with garlic and cheese, is brought to the table standing and served by a waiter. The tower of garlic and cheese goodness on top is stuffed into the loaf of bread. It is then ready to be cut up and enjoyed. 

Their entrees are also extremely tasty. With dishes that average at $20, it is definitely worth every penny. The Mushroom Risotto is one of my ultimate favorite dishes. Topped with a freshly baked chicken, it all blends and compliments each other. For those who are looking for a pasta dish, their Alfredo sauced pastas are comfort food as well. There are a handful of choices, but none with tomato sauce. A recommendation is the seafood pasta or shrimp and lobster that is served with linguine pasta.

For those who are dining in, it is suggested to order a bottle of wine rather than going for a cup of soda at $8 a cup. If you are on a budget, you can definitely share sodas with your significant other. It is common among locals so they know to provide you with two straws.

Overall, the experience was great, they even have an English menu for those who cannot read Korean. It definitely helps to make a pit stop for Korean foods every now and then, especially for those who are living in Korea for quite a while. Mad for Garlic is a restaurant that is highly popular with locals as well!

Korean Traditional Eat - Fermented Black Garlic

Fermented Garlic, black garlic, is a Korean Traditional Eat which tastes nothing like a garlic. It has a soft, mushy texture which can be hard to consume for many because of its peculiar texture and tangy kick. Similar to a vinaigrette, this fermented black garlic is a health food that is one of the best. When consumed on an empty stomach, it helps to detox and gradually facilitate in the healing of psoriasis. Because it is shown to help build a strong liver, it is suggested to have three or four cloves every morning. You can also incorporate this garlic in your everyday meals to decrease the strange taste and still absorb all the nutrients.

I have been consuming fermented black garlic for over a month now. I have been able to see a change in my psoriasis with it getting better. I definitely recommend this simple detox for anyone who is looking to clean out their system because it does help. Furthermore, it will help to regulate your daily bowel movements so it is worth downing a few cloves as if it's medication. My trick is to quickly wash it down with lemon water!
